Editor's Notes

- At Amazon, we strive to be Earth’s most customer-centric company. And to do this, everyone who works at Amazon understands that our customers are our top priority and that our future as a company is built on our customers’ satisfaction. Today, Amazon supports millions of customers who speak dozens of languages from 32 Customer Service Centers across the globe. Consider that during the 2016 holiday season peak online shopping period, tens of thousands of Customer Service associates supported Amazon customers around the world.
- To deliver on our promise, it’s imperative that our service organizations be empowered to engage with our customers. At the heart of that is a contact center system that needs to be reliable, simple to manage, open, and scales with our needs. With respect to scalability, consider that in preparation for Amazon Prime Day, Amazon’s Customer Service Centers scale up adding thousands of new agents and we scale back down literally in a day. Not only do we require maximum flexibility, but second only to security, the reliability of our contact center is critical in order to service the needs of our customers.
- At Amazon, we consistently strive to ‘raise the bar’ for our customers, and our search found that the traditional call center solutions were unable to meet our demanding requirements. The tools were cumbersome and required highly technical and niche expertise. The integrations were complex with multiple components, channels, and vendors. The systems were built in proprietary environments requiring esoteric skills and heavy professional services. We were also looking for increased security, scalability, and reliability. Nuggets: On Prime Day, for example, we need to be able to scale to meet the high volume of customer interactions in a single day, but be able to contract back down quickly. At Amazon, reliability is second only to security. The solution we sought needed to be secure, but provide the highest level of availability in order for us to serve our customers and their needs. Available solutions did not meet our needs for space, hardware, and telephony integration. Finally, the pricing models were complex, requiring long-term commitments. To deliver on our goal to be Earth’s Most Customer-Centric Company, we knew we needed a better way for our agents to engage with our customers.
- So we built it! Using our knowledge and experience, we built an easy-to-use, intuitive system that enables our customer service agents to focus their attention on the customer, rather than on navigating a complex, difficult-to-use system. Over 50 groups and businesses within Amazon and its subsidiaries provide customer service today, including Zappos, Audible, and of course, Amazon Retail’s customer service.
- Amazon Connect is the contact center solution we designed and built to enable Amazon to deliver an exceptional customer experience. It includes all the standard functionality contact center operations teams have come to expect. Skills-based routing maximizes the efficiency of agents and the satisfaction of customers. Calls are recorded, making it easy to monitor and improve agent quality. All the common reports and analytics you would expect are available and easy to use, including Service Level, Handle Time, and agent performance. And high-quality voice comes standard with Amazon Connect.
- We strive to make Alexa relevant to users at any point in time, and here you’ll see an example of the various touchpoints throughout a consumer’s normal day. As you can see, whether it’s getting daily news, checking the commute, controlling the smart home or simply listening to music Alexa’s capabilities have made her a meaningful addition to people’s lives throughout the day.
